What is the Curve? The Emotional Impact of Peyronie’s Disease

Exploring Other Ways to be Intimate

For a man with Peyronie’s disease, intercourse can be painful, difficult, or even impossible. And because intercourse is often a central part of physical intimacy, couples may feel at a loss on filling the void. But there are others ways to be intimate. Couples can start by just holding hands, giving each other a massage, or cuddling on the couch while watching TV. In time, they can explore what makes them feel good. A sex therapist may also be able to help them find new ways to communicate and be intimate.
